Instead, they alter the tumor's environment, increasing blood vessel density within a day of treatment and boosting lymphatic vessel growth by day three.

These changes may help guide immune cells to the tumor, potentially improving the body's natural ability to fight cancer.

Would this not drastically increase the risk of metastatic cancer?!?!?
